Default Echelon250's Build Thread! Check it!!

Picked up a UltraWhite/Roja Red IS250 F Sport back in December and have been going back and forth in my head as to what direction I wanted to go with the car since picking it up. Here is how she sits now, all I've added so far was tinting the windows as soon as I got it. Plans for it as of right now, I have two sets of wheel spacers currently to test out the fitment on the IS as well as getting a newly designed exhaust installed this week. I will then be wrapping the vehicle the first week of April in a Satin Pearl White along with Black accents. From there, I have interest in some Lexon aero parts, lowering springs and possibly wheels. One step at a time though!

Looks great and awesome color choice.

BTW, The correct car color Ultra White, Starfire pearl is not available on the Fsport model IS.

I think I may have seen you driving once or twice. I have a white 350 sitting on 20's with a blacked out roof.

Definitely wanna do the wrapping last...Otherwise you'd have to wrap your aftermarket parts too! But the satin pearl white is the best kind of wrap you can do to a car, that's for sure. I'd do the same thing.

Possibly, I live in the Mcdonald/Scottsdale Rd area...I've seen one other stock White IS FSport running around here so far. That enough for me to want to differentiate mine haha.

I actually own the wrap company haha so doing parts down the line wouldn't be much of an issue at all. Doing the wrap asap is serving two purposes, to customize the color and to use as a marketing/advertising tool. I almost thought about getting crazy with the color but decided to stick with the Satin Pearl White for now, I think it would fit the car really well.

Got the new exhaust on yesterday as well as test fit some spacers from H&R which as expected fit perfectly! 25mm all around, now it needs the lowering bad, going to order springs today. Should look pretty good once its sitting lower.

Its currently a prototype from a company who is local to me. They have been working on it for the last 2 months with different versions. They asked me not to mention their name until the final production version is ready so I have to respect that wish right now. So far I like everything about it, waiting for the final version so I can get rid of those holes for a silencer option and have some rolled tips.
